Here is an old thread where they reference OPs curing method...OP of the old thread cites source as Grow Bible I think...

I'm jus not gonna spend much time looking into this topic as I doubt I'll ever try this method. But at least it appears there is some validity to his claims...and I suppose it's not any stranger than Water Curing. Also something I'll never try lol.


As an afterthought question, OP, could you please tell me the benifits of curing this way?

The benefit is speed. As I mentioned, you could get similar results at room temperature and 72-75% RH but it would take weeks as opposed to days. The benefits compared to the simple drying used by the majority of producers would be less harshness, higher potency, better flavor and aroma. I would recommend chopping at the end of the dark period when using this method, because it converts starch to sugar. Therefore best to start with reduced starch levels to avoid too much sugar content. That's what I'm going to try next time. Chopping after 24 hours of light made too much sugar.

Tis sad that folks don't get this, most stuck in the mob mentality of what good weed is.

There are many different ways to ferment and cure, when I designed and built my fermentation chamber I studied not only tobacco but tea leaves as well. Hell we even make our own sauerkraut and apple cider vinegar ,,,, fermentation is fun 8)

More folks should be experimenting with this and discovering things,,,,, like it changes the high and can make it much more intense. I recently got into makin Malawi Cobb's and while there is no bag appeal to em the high is incredible

I get why people ferment (its been done for thousands of years). Traditional curing looks very interesting. Ive tried buried before.

I just dont see why anyone would want to rush their cure and in doing so claim its better than the "accepted" way when they have never had or practiced the "accepted" way.

Can you please try next time a "normal" curing method. It gives you a base line. Dont even bother trying for a long cure just 6 months should be enough to give you a baseline

the methods in this thread https://www.rollitup.org/t/different-curing-methods.892/ apparently are taken from Ed Rosenthal.

the OP's method is an accepted, practiced method. you might not like it but it's not like he just pulled it out of his butt.

not liking a method doesn't mean it's not legitimate.

when i started reading this thread, i thought his cure was unconventional. but it turns out it is a conventional way of curing, only it's not widely used.

whether it's a good cure compared to others it one thing, but the cure itself is legitimate based on the fact that people widely acknowledged to be experts like Ed Rosenthal and Mel Frank recognized it as a cure.

And in the link you quoted (a good read BTW- cheers,) Bricktop said- "temperatures (higher than about 80 (F) degrees) will cause THC to break down into less desirable chemicals, this will lower the potency of the finished product."

You can tell if a person's stoned anywhere on earth huh? You didn't cure shit, that was your problem right there.

Your problem was that you did cure shit, and then insisted that everyone else was doing it wrong

I judge cannabis contests in the state of Oregon, and your dope looks like crap

That's because you're a typical Oregonian, you don't know shit about the subject of curing, you just imitate the last stoner who also knew nothing about curing. I was entirely correct if I said everyone else was doing it wrong. Now if you stop claiming to have cured something when you obviously didn't then I wouldn't have a reason to contradict you, dumb Oregonian bugger.

Dude, we were rocking the Ronco food dehydraters decades ago. You offer it as a concept in here like you're fresh wet behind the ears, catch up, nothing you're doing is groundbreaking or even sought after. There's a reason that 0% of the entries at emerald cup weren't cured via this method, but lemme guess, they're all doing it wrong.

Did I say use a food dehydrater as is? Pretty sure I said to control the humidity and put a towel over it to even out the heat. I only suggested it as a possible alternative anyway. You just can't read or cure. Now if by "cure" you mean "dry and stick in a jar" then okay fine you cured your weed. Otherwise, no, you didn't cure shit. If your definition of cured is correct then I could cure weed in a microwave.

"There's a reason that 0% of the entries at emerald cup weren't cured via this method, but lemme guess, they're all doing it wrong." Yeah, you finally got something right. See the problem is that you as a judge don't know what's good and what's bad. All you've ever smoked is what's bad so how would you even know what good is like? Anyone with any sense would see a green bud and immediately say I ain't smoking that shit. The fact that you didn't say that but instead actually smoked the shit and said it was good only shows how ignorant you really are. Now go smoke some green tobacco, I'm sure you'll find it delightful. You'll probably rate it A+, because you're a classless Philistine.

I cannot see how anyone can take you seriously when you pitch high heat speed cures and modified food dehydrators.

You have speed heat cured your weed how many times again, one? Yet you know more than how many hundreds of entries at emerald cup?

Let's just say that I've heat cured infinitely more times than YOU have. Now my question to you is how many times have you smoked heat cured weed? If the answer is zero, and we both know it is, then you have no basis to criticize the results of heat curing, now do you? Guess that makes you a common troll, troll. You're like a person who never drank champagne and who is drinking American beer saying this is the nectar of the gods and champagne sucks compared to this, even though I've never actually tasted it in my miserable fucking Oregonian life.

So to reiterate you've used your method a total of 1 time?

And no I've rushed a dry/cure many many times which was required to learn that there is no way to speed this part of the process up. You either sacrifice quality to have it now via your methods or learn there's a better way by trying what others who have great product, success, reputation are doing, emulate greatness.

You'd be wrong if you assume that, there is a way 8)
